Quite simply, The Boulder International Film Festival offers filmmakers superb hospitality, excellent exposure opportunities and huge, enthusiastic audiences, all combining to create an incredible festival experience. Filmmakers enjoy complementary luxurious accommodations just a few blocks from the Festival's main venue - the historic 900-seat Boulder Theater - and receive an exclusive Red Carpet VIP pass to the galas and legendary parties, where plenty of interaction with Academy award-winning celebrities, producers, and directors is the norm. Great food and drink, skiing just 45 minutes from Boulder, and fantastic parties every night all add up to one of the most welcoming, filmmaker-friendly festivals on the circuit. Submit to BIFF today, you'll love it here.
The BOULDER INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL (BIFF) is rapidly solidifying its reputation as one of the most innovative and influential young film festivals in the United States, having been selected as one of MovieMaker Magazine's "25 Coolest Film Festivals" as well as one of the "25 Film Festivals Worth the Entry Fee". The 10th annual Festival is February 13 - 16, 2014 in Boulder, Colorado.
BIFF attracts over 20,000 film enthusiasts, media, and industry each year, and has been proud to host and celebrate some of film's most talented artists, including Peter Fonda in 2013, William H. Macy and Martin Sheen at BIFF 2012, Oscar-winning director Oliver Stone and Oscar-nominated actor James Franco at BIFF 2011, Oscar-nominated actor Alec Baldwin and Emmy Award-winning actress Blythe Danner at BIFF 2010. along with many other independent filmmakers, directors, producers and stars including directors Lawrence Kasdan (the Big Chill), Anthony Bregman (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), Michael and Mark Polish (Northfork), Presidential Medal of Freedom honoree Congressman John Lewis, legendary comedian Chevy Chase, Golden Globe-nominated actress Maria Bello, writer John August (Big Fish), Academy-Award nominee Eric Roberts, Patrick Warburton [Seinfeld]), and writer/filmmaker Chris Gore (The Ultimate Film Festival Survival Guide and Film Threat).
"If happiness is a state of mind, Boulder is its capital", Jim Axelrod, CBS News Sunday Morning - March 2011

A Word from the Rector
Welcome to the website where the past blends with the future and vision with tradition, together creating an educational institution for the 21st century – Charles University. In the spirit of our best traditions we develop knowledge and critical thought and aim to continue being a symbol of education, culture and morality. Read More
Prof. MUDr. Tomáš Zima, DrSc., MBA
About the University
I would like to wish all members of the academic community of Charles University in Prague, teachers, students and all employees, a happy and peaceful Easter. I firmly believe that the upcoming holiday period will give us all an opportunity to take a break from the merry-go-round of modern life and find time for contemplation, amongst our nearest and dearest, of the point of our existence and the real values that we often forget in the hustle and bustle of everyday life due to our professional, and other, responsibilities.
About the University
It is with great regret that Charles University follows the current events in Ukraine. We are outraged to hear of the use of violence, which has resulted in dozens of fatalities and hundreds of injured. The practices used are entirely incompatible with the basic values of European civilization. We therefore make an appeal for a political solution to the current crisis.
About the University
Karolinum Press has become the first Czech publisher to link up with ebrary, the global distributor of specialist monographs in electronic form. Starting in April 2014, it will disseminate e-books via university libraries. A total of sixty-seven e-books published by Karolinum Press are currently available through ebrary. By the end of 2014 Karolinum Press plans to make over 200 titles available as e-books.
International Cooperation
CU Rector Tomáš Zima has received American Fulbright scholars currently studying and teaching at Charles University. At the meeting, which took place in the Carolinum on Monday 14 April, the scholars discussed their research interests and their experiences with Czech students.

Get serious about the snow with cold weather gear that's as technologically advanced as it is stylish! At the heart of it all is the MMT Two Stage Dry system. It uses 2 separate waterproof / breathable layers of protection against the outside elements. And just as important, the 2-layer design works to prevent comfort-killing, condensation-produced moisture on the inside. It's a scientific fact that a double layer of protection provides more resistance to condensation than a single layer (think about the double pane windows in your house). But FXR doesn't stop there. Read on to learn how this Jacket / Pants Duo will keep you warmer, dryer and ready to rock... All. Winter. Long.

Top Line: Evgeni Malkin's injury, Blackhawks smash record, more links
[/caption]By Allan Muir
A super-sized weekend edition guide to this morning's must-read hockey stories:
• Pittsburgh's 3-1 win over Florida may prove costly. There's no update yet on Evgeni Malkin's condition after the superstar was ridden hard into the boards by Erik Gudbranson. Bad result from a clean hit.
• The puck continues to bounce right for the Chicago Blackhawks, whose win over San Jose made for a record-setting 17th game with a point from the start of the season. The Sharks found themselves on the wrong side of history.
• Buffalo Sabres GM offers up some distressing opinions about the state of modern hockey equipment.
• Gabriel Landeskog returns to action today for the Colorado Avalanche. Wait… don't call him Gabriel!
• Damien Cox thinks that reviving the World Cup of Hockey is a terrible idea. He could not be more wrong. He could try, but he would fail.
• Rick Nash is set to miss his third game in a row. The Rangers need another stellar performance like the one they got Thursday night from Marian Gaborik if they want to have a chance against the conference-leading Canadiens tonight.
• Winnipeg defender Zach Redmond is lucky to be alive after having his femoral artery slashed and losing two pints of blood on the ice. In that context, being out for the season isn't the worst thing that could have happened here.
• The effort is finally there from Alexander Ovechkin. Now he just needs to remember how to finish.
• Are you ready to take The Great Canadian Hockey Quiz? Warning: it's kinda rules-intensive.
• Lindy Ruff took time to thank the players and fans as he closed out his tenure with the Buffalo Sabres.
• A smart take from Cam Cole on the three stooges who doomed Rick DiPietro.
• The Senators are hopeful Craig Anderson will be back sooner than this.
• Riding a five-game losing streak and facing a formidable stretch of the schedule, there's a growing sense of urgency around the Detroit Red Wings. They might want to "urgently" address that 28th-ranked power play that continues to let them down in game-swinging situations.
• Bobby Hull shares a few thoughts about his career, his regrets and his relationship with Gordie Howe.
• Erik Karlsson holds a grudgeagainst Matt Cooke.
• The Calgary Flames are too soft to be taken seriously. Fresh recruit Akim Aliu will be asked to address that shortfall of sandpaper. The team also expect to get impact rookie Sven Baertschi back in the lineup soon.
• This is some seriously hard-core speculation about possible NHL realignment options. Some truly awesome work here.
• The Blackhawks weren't the only team to earn a record-setting wing last night.
• Ask Siri to show you a picture of God and you won't believe whose image might pop up.

Voyager Knit Sleeveless Faux-Wrap Dress 12 12
Cute dress Just bought this dress and it is very cute on. Can go from day trips to dinner out very easily. Tried it on to see how it fit and my husband loved it. Bought my normal size and it runs just a tad large but I would not go down a size. Great buy! February 15, 2014
Comfortable for summer travel In the heat and humidity of a Florida summer I like lightweight dresses that go from casual sightseeing to supper, but I don't like to wear black all the time. This is a flattering and comfortable option, and can be paired with a jacket or sweater for three season wear. January 20, 2014
Good Buy The dess is comfortable and size 16 fits well with my 5'8" and 170lb. framel. Love the shade of green. Wouldn't mind having it also in other colors. Also wouldn't mind having a slightly longer length. Haven't washed it yet but I know the voyager knit material does well. September 16, 2013
Perfect for me... I can't say enough good things about this dress. I'm 51 years old so I was curious to see how I would appear in a dress like this. It is beyond flattering and shows of my legs without being too short. This is a go to dress for casual or dressy functions. Love it! July 5, 2013
Beware the wrap Lovely color and otherwise good fit but the angle of the wrap was too revealing for me. I tried to fasten it somehow but just could not get it to look flattering without gaping. June 21, 2013
Pleasantly surprised!! I thought this would be a daytime dress, but it will work well for evening, too! I will have to have it hemmed a bit, as it is too long for my 5''5". It fits great, and drapes beautifully. Wonderful dress! June 5, 2013
color not accurate Dress looked good in photo but when I received it, the fabric and and especially the color (not olive, more green) was not as in the photo. June 3, 2013
a really great dress This dress arrived yesterday, all scrunched up in the bottom of the box. I expected wrinkles; there were none. I am 5'3" 128 lbs and it fits me perfectly. It is not too low cut for me, and I am 73 years old! It is a lovely shade of green. I may have to get up for church on Sunday just so I can wear it! May 24, 2013

Research is a cornerstone of the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta mission to enhance the lives of children. In conjunction with Emory University School of Medicine, Georgia Tech and Morehouse, Children's seeks answers to the most challenging childhood medical conditions through teaching and research.
Children who are overweight are now suffering from diseases once seen only in adults, such as hypertension, liver disease and Type 2 diabetes. That's why Children's launched Strong4Life, a wellness movement designed to ignite societal change and reverse the epidemic of childhood obesity and its associated diseases in Georgia.

How can I protect my baby's future?
During pregnancy, many women focus on being healthy. Another way to get ready for your baby is to make sure you are up-to-date on your vaccines (shots). Whooping cough (pertussis) is just one deadly disease your baby can catch.
In childhood, you and your family members may have received vaccines to prevent pertussis.1 The protection from these vaccines does not last a lifetime. A tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (Tdap) booster vaccine is needed.2
For teens and adults, pertussis can:
By the time a person knows he has pertussis, the germs may have spread to anywhere he has coughed or sneezed.
Pertussis spreads from close contact indoors, such as with people who live in the same home. Between 2000 and 2006, studies found that 75 percent of babies younger than 6 months of age with pertussis got it from someone in their home. 3
Babies with pertussis could:
Babies younger than 6 months of age are more likely to have severe problems from pertussis. A baby with pertussis can get sick quickly. The child should go to the hospital right away.
Between 2000 and 2006, 93 percent of the deaths from pertussis were in babies younger than 1 year. Work with your doctor to protect your baby.
1 Five doses of the diphtheria, tetanus and acellular pertussis (DTaP) vaccine are recommended at ages 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 12 to 15 months, and 4 to 6 years of age.
2 Two tetanus toxoid-diphtheria-acellular pertussis (Tdap) booster vaccines were licensed in 2005 for use in adolescents and adults for protection against pertussis starting at age 11. One dose of Tdap is recommended in place of the tetanus-diphtheria (Td) booster.

SGMLShort forStandard Generalized Markup Language, a system for organizing and tagging elements of a document. SGML was developed and standardized by the International Organization for Standards (ISO) in 1986. SGML itself does not specify any particular formatting; rather, it specifies the rules for tagging elements. These tags can then be interpreted to format elements in different ways.
SGML is used widely to manage large documents that are subject to frequent revisions and need to be printed in different formats. Because it is a large and complex system, it is not yet widely used on personal computers. However, the growth of Internet, and especially the World Wide Web, is creating renewed interest in SGML because the World Wide Web uses HTML, which is one way of defining and interpreting tags according to SGML rules.

This Minute at Runco
What to Watch Opening NightWednesday, July 17, 2013
What to watch on opening night?
As we approach the final installation of our home theater, excitement is growing. We chose a Runco QuantumColor Q-750d projector for the room. An impressive video product worthy of all the awards and industry attention is has received. It is quiet, consumes a fraction of the power of similar systems, and is lamp-free for years (literally) of maintenance-free enjoyment. It is chock full with entertainment possibilities.
As we march towards our own opening night, we are debating what we should watch first. What will be on the marquee for the first night in the new home theater?
Here are some of the options we've considered:
Avatar: As the highest grossing movie of all time, it would be a logical choice for the christening of our home theater. But box office success isn't the only reason. The colors that James Cameron and his team of cinema artists achieved in the film were spectacular. In the Digital Cinema Initiative (DCI) color space of the commercial theater, the foliage and landscapes of Pandora, not to mention the blue skin, popped off the screen. When I saw the movie, I immediately recognized how awesome it would look on the Q-750d and its Infinilight illumination system. Nothing beats this 3-LED illumination system which can achieve DCI and Adobe RGB color space, as well as making every movie in REC-709 show brilliantly! The Runco SmartColor™ huge compensation curve and gamut mapping allow a larger color gamut to be used without affecting skin tones and grayscales. Movies, like Avatar, would look vibrant without all the characters looking like cartoons (or sunburned). The proprietary Personal Color Equalizer™ allows us even more color personalization. Avatar is certainly going to be a great choice for the theater.
Cars: A long-time favorite with our kids, this Disney-Pixar movie is getting renewed market attention because of the opening of the rides in the Disneyland California Adventure theme park. The reason that it makes my list is those opening scenes where the hero of the story, Lightning McQueen, is giving himself a pep talk in his trailer. The scene is completely black and then cuts to bright colored racing scenes in his imagination. This switch between bright and dark scenes is where the QuantumColor line performs incredibly. The LEDs literally turn off leaving the black levels so inky dark the contrast ratio can hardly be measured. The effect of this in a dark room is that the screen completely disappears. This would be a great movie to share with our kids and friends and family. I expect their reaction to be exactly like the Runco resellers when we first showed it at CEDIA, and their countless clients since then, who have been blown away by this effect.
Skyfall: This latest James Bond installment is a favorite of the boys of my family and would be a great movie to watch in our home theater. The intense action scenes would be life-size on our Stewart StudioTek 130 110" screen. And the dark scenes, of which there are many, could be discerned. Scenes where the screen is mainly dark, but with points of light (like some of the outdoor night scenes) would be incredible. The lights would appear to realistically glow, just like we were really there on the Cliffside. Although too intense for our younger family members and friends, this is certainly a possibility.
What other ideas do you have? Considering the ideas above or other movies that you have seen on the Runco QuantumColor, what would you recommend?
Visit Runco on Facebook and tell us your thoughts. I'll report out our final choice in a future blog post.

I never leave home without snacks in my bag. If an appetite emergency strikes, I'm ready. Of course, just because I have a snack doesn't mean I need to eat it. Munching when you're not really hungry can rack up lots of extra calories. But judicious use of the right snacks can boost your calorie burn (every time you eat, your metabolic rate increases slightly) and even help you blast fat. Here are three portable snack options packed with fat-burning ingredients.

We're not sure what Jurlique had in mind when they named this glorious all-in-one, but we love this product in a big way. Infused with natural flower and plant extracts, this salve works anywhere you have scaly skin — elbows, cuticles, lips — and it also helps to soothe irritation and protect from free radicals. The convenient tin has a darling apothecary feel and fits nicely into pockets, handbags, and desk drawers.
This rose balm does have a strong scent, but it has worked wonders to repair my dry skin after the harsh winter.
This balm got me through winter without any trouble with chapped lips. It is hands down the best I've used: great moisture, tastes fine, smells divine, feels smooth, not sticky.
Can be used as a lip balm, dry skin relief or whatever you need to relieve dry areas. Nice rosey smell and soft on the lips.
i love this stuff. i use it on my lips, dry spots, cuticles. it really is a great multi-tasker. i always carry it with me.
I love this product. I keep it in my purse and rub it on my dry elbows and I also use it on my cuticles. But it has such a lovely fragrance I sometimes rub it on my pulse points as a perfume.
This lip balm makes my lips feel smooth without looking glossy. I love the smell and the packaging is so pretty it can be left out on my desk.
I originally purchased the Rose Balm for my lips but you can use it anywhere on your body to moisturize. It smooths in beautifully...it is shiny though wherever you put it on. The smell is wonderful. Whenever you open the container or put it on, you get a faint smell of roses. I recommend this to anyone.
I adore this product. It truly does almost everything you could possibly imagine. Love it as a salve & on dry parched cuticles. I use it on my hands as a moisturizer in the winter. It is a bit too "rosey" tasting for my liking for me to use as a lip balm, but I still do it in a pinch. I have also used this on split ends & I once put a dab on a paper towel and shined my shoes with it!!
The scent is a little over powering, the size was slightly disappointing. Felt very nice going on put had some weird residue (noticed this when I got my hands wet). I wouldn't purchase this again I have used better.
Jurlique is one of my favorite facial product lines to use because it's a natural approach to skincare and I also like Jurlique for their lovely scented products, which are not harsh or over powering in any way. Very gentle and soothing! So, I had to try their "rose" lip balm. It's soft, not too thick, and smells terrific. Enjoy it if you try it!!!

All the nutrients your eyes need from around the world
Poor eye health doesn't have to be an inevitable part of aging. You absolutely can enjoy clear, sharp vision no matter how old you are. I've met people in India and China in their 80s who have no sign of age-related eye struggles. I uncovered their secret and made it part of my Vision Advantage® supplement.
Vision Advantage provides the best defense for maintaining healthy eyes and combating eye strain and fatigue. You get all the nutrients your eyes need from around the world:
From the USA
- RESEARCH LEVELS of Lutein and Zeaxanthin shield your macula from damaging UVB light and keep your lens healthy.
- RESEARCH LEVEL of Astaxanthin strengthens your iris-ciliary muscle, easing eyestrain and beating eye fatigue.
- Vitamins A, C, E, and N-Acetyl Cysteine protect your lens from an onslaught of damaging free radicals.
- Taurine regenerates retina tissue and protects your eyes from UV light damage.
- Zinc gives you added antioxidant power and safeguards your macula and vision; vitamin E supports the lenses and retinas; vitamin A (as beta-carotene) synthesizes a chemical needed for clear eyesight.
From the Far East
- RESEARCH BLEND of Hachimijiogan Extract fights free radicals in your optic nerve, protects your lens, and increases blood flow to your retina, thus sharpens vision.
From the Near East
- Triphala Complex, believed to be more than 5,000 years old, is still India's greatest secret for healthy eyes.

I am so happy with Vision Advantage! My vision is noticeably sharper, former eye-fatigue while reading is gone, and I no longer experience dryness while wearing my contact lenses. I have been taking it for less than a month. Prior to this, I tried another company's eye supplement but could not tolerate it, as it caused headaches immediately upon taking even 1 capsule, let alone a day's dose.----There is no such reaction with Vision Advantage. Thank you, Dr. Williams!

Both my husband and I have been taking this for several years on the advice of a friend. At the point where we started taking your supplement, our need for stronger corrective lenses stopped! My husband was skeptical that your supplement was the cause, so he stopped taking it for a couple of weeks. Within that short a time, he vision started to deteriorate. We have NEVER stopped again (willingly)! Unfortunately, this spring, I forgot to renew my supply and we went without for one week until I could get more. We are having to double up to get back some lost eyesight, even over such a short time. So PLEASE don't ever stop producing this product! We are both in our early 60's and value our eyesight so much! I recently noticed the color of the supplement has changed. I hope you have not changed the formula, just the color. I would like to try your new Royal Bee Energizer, but I am waiting for a special. I missed your one day $20 off.

Before taking Vision Advantage, my eyes dispalyed some blurriness and fatigue. They did improve after taking Vision Advantage. I would prefer to take them each day, but the price is excessive so I try to conserve on a 2-day spacing or on an as-needed basis.

Several months ago I began to see wavy lines on highway stripes, then elsewhere. I finally decided to take Dr. Williams's offer of 4 for 3 bottles of Vision Advantage. After the 4th bottle the lines had all but gone. I'm still taking it and improving, at age 81.

- In the six year, Age Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS), researchers found that supplementation with lutein, beta carotene, vitamins E and C, zinc and copper helped to reduce the risk of macular degeneration by 25% in people at high risk for developing advanced macular degeneration. Supplementation also helped to reduce the risk of vision loss.1
- In a double-blind, placebo controlled trial, 59 subjects who regularly worked in front of computer monitors (VDTs) for at least 6 hours per day and complained of eye fatigue were randomly divided and given either 6 mg of astaxanthin or placebo for 4 weeks. At the end of the study, those taking the astaxanthin exhibited increased power of accommodation (how fast the eyes are able to switch focus from near to distant objects), and reduced symptoms of eye strain and fatigue, including "heavy head," "dimness of sight," and "stiff shoulders and back." 2

As far as replacing the stem, parts are readily available.The handles not so much.You would be better off replacing the faucet.
I like Delta or Moen .
Hello, I am new to the forum and hope my post will lead to results for a DIY project. A Price Pfister faucet in our bathroom has been broken for years. The kids somehow snapped the handles off the faucet, which still works, but the handles fall off on occasion, and they have become chipped because they have fallen.
First I need help identifying this Price Pfister faucet model. We bough it from the long gone Home Quarters Warehouse in 1999. I am trying to figure out what internal part(s) I need to fix these faucets, as well as where to get replacement porcelain screw-in handles. Or should I get a whole new faucet system?
I am hopeful for some constructive advice. I tried posting these at Garden Web plumbing forums and got nothing but sarcastic and hurtful comments, but my browsing of the forums seems to indicate your members can help me.

Looks like a Moen Monticello, not PP. In any case, polished brass is on the outs, so replacement handles for an old faucet may be hard to come by. Lets see the cartridge to confirm, then check with moen.
You may find parts. If you can swing it, that one is getting kind of sorry so you might want to consider replacing it.

"Initially I thought these were a luxury, but they looked "pretty" online - so I decided to order a few and if I didn't like them, it would not be a huge loss. When I received them my only regret was not having ordered more. I absolutely love them. They're beautiful in person. Elegant and very aesthetically pleasing. I planned to put these on the response card envelopes to ensure that the responses are sent to me without incident. Great idea and very worth it."
"These matched perfect with the invite and saved me a ton of time. The only thing I would change is have the print a tiny bit darker. I chose the purple and my name was more vivid than my address. Otherwise perfect."
"I ordered these return address labels to coordinate with bridal shower invitations. I was pleased with the understated sophistication and lovely damask design. A definite eye-opener with the dark background."
"I ordered these addy labels with the PINK heart in the middle. made such a difference, much softer looking and fitting for all my invites, thank yous, reherasal dinner invites, bridal shower, bachloerette etc."
"These were the perfect address labels and complimented the matching invitations quite well. I am glad I ordered extra because I will be using them to send out my Thank Yous. Really cute and feminine, they are great all on their own."

Rootkits are program(s)which take fundamental control as Administrator access of a computer system, without authorization by the system's owners and legitimate managers. Typically, rootkits act to obscure their presence on the system through subversion or evasion of standard operating system security mechanisms. Often, they are also Trojans as well, thus fooling users into believing they are safe to run on their systems. Techniques used to accomplish this can include concealing running processes from monitoring programs, or hiding files or system data from the operating system.

Air Zimbabwe on it's last legs - I think
Air Zimbabwe on it's last legs - I think
By Nkosana Dlamini, Harare, October 18, 2011 Zimbabwe troubled national carrier Air Zimbabwe is operating at an appalling loss of US3,5 million a month while its debt has surged to nearly US$138, the airline boss has revealed.
Our cost of operating the business sits at about US$6 to US$7,5 million, Air Zimbabwe Chief Executive Officer Innocent Mavhunga said Tuesday.
Our income is between US$2,5? and US$3,5 million. So simple mathematics would tell us there is a deficit averaging US$3,5 to US$5 million every month."
Mavhunga was presenting oral evidence before Parliament Portfolio Committee on State Enterprises and Parastatals chaired by Zvishavane-Runde legislator Larry Mavhima on the state of affairs at the airline.
Mavhunga said the parastatal debt to date is sitting at US$137,7 million.
He attributed this to government restrictions on charging in foreign currency during the Zim-Dollar era, shortage in foreign currency and the devastating effects of sanctions felt by the air line.
Of this debt, US$112,7 is owed to local creditors.
In 2006, Mavhunga said, the airline debt was sitting at US$6 million but ballooned over the last five years.
The Air Zimbabwe boss also cited a recurrent strike by the company pilots, high operational costs for its aging aircrafts, diminishing passenger confidence and continued interference into its operations by government as some of the factors militating against the smooth operations of the company.
Mavhuma said the impact brought by the recent prolonged strike on the airline will take up to a year to repair.
According to Mavhunga, Air Zimbabwe has seen a turnover of 12 successive CEOs in the past decade who have all failed to rescue the company from its worsening financial burden due to continued under capitalisation.
Currently, the airline is operating eight aircrafts and of these, three have been grounded due to the fact that they are now beyond service.
The airline is also trapped with a bloated workforce of over 1000 employees and is appealing for government funding to pay retrenchment packages to 400 employees most of whom have agreed to the retrenchment terms proposed by their employer.
Air Zimbabwe last paid its workers in June this year while the continued flight of passengers from the airline has forced it to shrink its destinations.
The airline is servicing three routes regionally namely Harare-Johannesburg, Harare-Lusaka, Harare-Lubumbashi.
Internationally, Air Zimbabwe flies from Harare to countries, Malaysia, China and London while flying from Harare to Bulawayo and Victoria Falls locally.
The Air Zimbabwe boss appealed to government to inherit the entire debt of the airline or give the airline at least US$40 million to restore viability in the next six months.

Comment posted Spygate: James Robb asks for clarifications of the CEO's statement by Larry Nugent.
The whole executive department should be turfed out and replaced with council officers that will carry out their duties honestly
. Here is my last letter to Sally Loudon. I am willing to debate with her the dereliction of duty to disabled people by her and her cronies. My shell of a body has more life in it than her whole team. Dead lice move faster than her.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………. I am 70 years old, and I suffer from spinal injuries, heart disease,(2 valves are beyond repair) and I am also an ex mental health patient. I have sought local authority support when I was awarded the middle rate of disability allowance.
I have worked tirelessly for the Community Care act to be implemented. I have chaired a meeting in Glasgow with Lord Tom Clarke, the then Minister in charge of the act. It was a privilege to have a discussion in Edinburgh with lord Alf Lomas, organised by SAMH. I was an executive member and a member of the executive of GAMH. Lord Lomas got into statute the ( Chronically and Sick and Disabled Act (1970)(1972 Scotland). I have also chaired a meeting With Ann Begg MP at a fringe meeting. The most appreciated help I got was from George Galloway MP of kelvin at the time and from Journalist, Dorothy Grace Elder SNP (MSP) to both of them, I am deeply indebted
All campaigners resent being labeled " Disabled" we are abled people with impairments" We also respect the dual responsibility of the local authority in ensuring clients needs are provided for. And budget properly tax-payers money in that process.
We cannot allow this duality to be hostage of the black arts of "Machiavellian Deceit" of carrots and sticks practiced by council officers Sally Loudon, Douglas Hendry and Jim Robb.
CEO, Sally Loudon foolishly boasts she has made savings of 15% which is the criteria of central government but what she has omitted in that equation the fact to acheive she is charging in my case and all others 75% of their disposable income. The Westminster Princes and Princesses get their carrot blood money and she using the stick to cudgel the most marginalised section in Argyll 75%. 5 times her amount.
You could not make it up. She is a disgrace
Al Capone only took 10% and the pimps in Glasgow's red light area, Cadogan St, take 50% of the working girls monies. These dregs of humanity are called "stickmen". Sally Loudon "the argyll stickwoman" has an ironic twist to it .
All this could have been avoided if Jim Robb had carried out the statutory requirements to engage and consult with all. He choose to ignore groups that were run and and controled by disabled people and opted to only consult with the voluntary sector care groups and deny the views of the Disability Movement. He has made no effort to assist the set up of a regional group run and controled by disabled people themselves.
I challenge Sally Loudon and her cronies to a public debate on the mean testing and Disability Rights in the Corran Halls Oban whenever she surfaces. By Larry Nugent
Larry Nugent also commented
- I have posted enough on this thread and I thank the moderators for their forbearance. In my moving on I pass on the Sally Loudon Clan's motto,Non dormit qui custodit- "The sentinal sleeps not"
Have a good laugh and a nice day.
- Democratic Centralism (All power to the Executive Department) has failed in Eastern Europe, but thrives in north Korea,The Vatican, and now apparently the A&BC. The unethical, and unaccountable "Nadezhda Sally" the rusty iron wumman is building a wall of resistance to transparency and being open to engagement. Her authoritarian ego must be crushed or Stalinism will prevail.
- The whole running of the executive department should be investigated. Sally Loudon has been asked by me, to put me before a committee that includes elected councillors as I have no respect or trust in her officers. her ineptness is breathtaking. And if any elected member feel they can kick my complaint into the long grass, they are mistaken as "I don't do walking away"
The letter below shows the insensitivity of messrs Loudon and Robb. I have hardly a breath in my body and consultants and the Lorn Medical Centre say I have five years to live that was 4 years ago this August.
Jim Robb like the last time will make the venue in Lochgilphead. I cannot do the 39 miles and back in a schoolbus with screaming wains like the last time. Here is my reply to him This poor excuse of a council officer has not got the decency to reply himself.
And Good Marning Yourself,Mary-Theresa Bulloch,
I have clearly rejected any meeting with that poor excuse of a director for adult care called Mr Robb. It is infantile of him of going through the motions of only being seen and not acting. No, once was enough. He has cast the die so he will sit on his hands and laugh at me. Me thinks Sally Loudon has not got a clue about good practices or she would insist that the director and his management team got disability awareness training.
Right enough if I was into masochism he would be ideal for me to have a brain meltdown. if I had a complaint against fishmonger's prices, I certainly would not solicit the view of another fishmonger.
I have continually requested that my complaint be dealt at committee level that includes councillors. I feel confident that what I put forward will not only be listened but acted on. Mr Robb has plastic ears and full of inabilities, and insensitive to the needs of all vulnerable people.
When I get a positive response to that request, I will be able to advance my complaint.
Larry Nugent council tax payer denied best value and good practice
- I hope Sally Loudon falls from a great height. As it is plain the executive department must have had shared knowledge of this malpractice, if not crime. I totally disagree with Andrew Reid's about terms of reference. Council Tax Payers want the plain facts,not a rigged terms of reference. Truth is abused by her department.So lets stick to the facts. The Executive need to be accountable for this misdemeanor/malpractice if not a crime.The sooner she falls off her broomstick with her fat bonus,pension and golden handshake the better and good riddance to the witch.
Recent comments by Larry Nugent
- Lib Dem performance in Euro elections may spin out into Argyll & Bute
And who in the Oban Yes campaign recommended Sheridan as a speaker? He is a vote loser. I will be tearing up my SNP membership card because they obviously never opposed the choice of Sheridan
- Were Russell's fingerprints also on the SNP group's whipping decision?
Led by the nose and being bullied by a big coward?
If this is true: Who does Russell fear? Is it the outspoken and scorned Robb. It is certainly not the moribund branch members whom historically have not held Councillors and Russell to account or sought transparency or delegated them to properly represent constituents to get value for their council tax.
If they talk and walk like Independents. Then they are Independents
- Cowdenbeath by-election shows parties' ebb and flow
It is transparently clear that the SNP did not even get the Cowdenbeath "grey vote". As a pensioner I am not convinced the SNP will deliver on their promises to my section.
As a resident of Argyll, overall I don't trust them in charge of the Economy, Education,Europe, and control of our natural resources.
The above are bread and butter issues and nothing to do with Independence. The voters on Thursday have registered their disquiet at Walter Mitty paper promises that have no substance and an attack on our living standards.
- Jackie Baillie's 'bedroom tax' protection bill moves forward with cross-party support
"As much as this bill is welcomed"….
I do take on board your justified cynicism of the track record of her party. You must realise her bill has cross party support. And most SNP party members like myself want the Scottish government to act now to prevent further hardship on tenants.
- Jackie Baillie's 'bedroom tax' protection bill moves forward with cross-party support
The money is easy to find. So let there be no backsliding. Act now SNP, as you have the power with the full backing of the many.

Say hello to Ekans, perhaps the most underrated threat in Little Cup. A good defensive typing allows it to tank hits from Fighting-type threats such as Mienfoo, while its amazing support movepool, including Substitute, Swagger, Disable, Protect, Switcheroo, and Glare, can be used to stall out the opponent until they're knocked out from residual damage or Ekans's variety of attacks. It even gets two great abilities in the form of Intimidate and Shed Skin. Unfortunately, Ekans has no other appeal, as offensively, it is outclassed by Croagunk and Grimer. It also must overcome the problem of horrible offensive typing with good team support; Poison-type moves hit only Grass-type Pokemon super effectively, while not doing any damage to Steel-types and being resisted by four other types. Ekans also suffers from subpar stats, which makes it hard to consider for a spot on a team. Ultimately, although it has a few problems, Ekans is a good Pokemon that poses a threat to many opponents.
Coil was given to Ekans this generation, and there is no reason not to use it. Coil is a boosting move that raises the user's Attack, Defense, and accuracy, which is perfect on Ekans, a physically-based Pokemon with low Defense and an inaccurate, powerful STAB move in Gunk Shot. Gunk Shot is recommended as Ekans's main STAB move due to its monstrous power and high accuracy when paired with Coil; after a single use of Coil, Gunk Shot's accuracy will be around 93%, easily making it reliable. Poison Jab is an alternative to Gunk Shot if you like the immediate higher accuracy and PP, but Ekans probably won't be around long enough to use Gunk Shot more than 8 times anyway, and if you're not using Coil then you're not achieving the goal of this set. Sucker Punch is used mostly for priority and the ability to beat Gastly. Gunk Shot will do at least 27% to Gastly, always breaking its Substitute. This means with good prediction, Ekans has no hard time with Gastly thanks to Sucker Punch, especially as it resists Sludge Bomb and has Shed Skin to render Hypnosis close to useless. Sucker Punch can also make Ekans a revenge killer in desperate measures or OHKO frail Psychic-types such as Abra before they can attack it.
Rest and Earthquake are both useful moves for the last slot. Rest will heal Ekans, so it is usually the better choice, and Shed Skin works in harmony with Rest to wake Ekans up. If your team has Wish support, however, you may want to go with Earthquake. Earthquake allows Ekans to beat opposing Poison-types without Levitate, namely Croagunk, which resists Ekans's other two moves.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
The basic strategy of this set is to switch into something that fears Ekans such as Mienfoo, scare it with Intimidate, hit the switch-in with Switcheroo, hit the next switch-in with Glare, and use Swagger on it. This is probably the most annoying set in Little Cup; every single obscure move Ekans can learn combine to make it impossible to hit. Switcheroo is to put Ekans's Choice Scarf on an opposing wall. Because Ekans lures walls such as Slowpoke and Ferroseed, Switcheroo is extremely useful for crippling them. Afterward, depending on the opponent, it's best to use either Glare or Swagger. If the opponent is a fast Pokemon that can't harm Ekans, Glare will hit any switch-in, even Ground-types, assuming it hits. If it is a slow Pokemon such as Ferroseed which will probably try to set up anyway, Swagger is the best choice to hinder their setup. If the victim will outspeed Ekans with a Choice Scarf and be able to damage it easily, however, switching to a check is the best idea.
Intimidate is the preferred ability as it causes switches, which is Ekans's lighter fluid so to speak. Ekans, believe it or not, is a phenomenal Scraggy check. With the EVs and nature above, Choice Scarf Ekans will outspeed Scraggy after a Dragon Dance, reset its Attack stat with Intimidate, and give it a Choice Scarf. It can then proceed to wreak havoc with Glare and Swagger on switch-ins.
The last slot is reserved for an attacking move so that Ekans isn't complete Taunt bait. Acid Spray is a useful STAB move which will cause even more switches, as it harshly lowers the foe's Special Defense. Giga Drain is an option over Acid Spray, however, as it gives Ekans some health back, which it greatly desires. It also hits Ground-types on the switch.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Ekans has access to Substitute and Disable, which work well because it only has two weaknesses. You can use an offensive Choice Scarf set, although Ekans doesn't have much of a movepool for it. Some other attacking moves it gets are Double-Edge, Pursuit, Aqua Tail, and Thief. Thief can be used without an item to act as a pseudo Knock Off. Additional support moves include Haze and Gastro Acid.
Checks and Counters
On the Coil set, Choice Band Diglett beats Ekans even after Coil. Slowpoke can take any of Ekans's moves and hit it back with Psychic. Pawniard completely walls Ekans unless it runs Earthquake, and it has access to Psycho Cut to hurt Ekans badly. Any Psychic-type Pokemon with Substitute that predicts well might be able to outsmart Ekans.
On the Annoyer set, Cottonee flat-out beats it due to priority Taunt. Lickitung has Own Tempo and can beat Ekans with Return or Earthquake. Any Pokemon with a Substitute up completely walls Ekans.

Worst wedding reception venue in the Twin Cities – Booked a reception at the Crowne Plaza MSP Airport. We were very excited because it was beautiful. We were verbally promised an included hotel room and no charge if we brought our own cake and had a family member cut it. After 3 weeks of disputing, they said it was their policy to charge a $2 per person cake cutting fee. All staff were rude and difficult to work with. They lied and made up policy. We ended up cancelling recpetion. If you book here, beware!!!
